Bollywood Hungama earlier reported that Kareena Kapoor Khan in her book ‘Kareena Kapoor Khan's Pregnancy Bible: The Ultimate Manual for Moms-To-Be’, co-written by Aditi Shah Bhimjyani, described the amazing time she had during her first pregnancy. Before the birth of Taimur, Kareena barely fell sick and had a rocking holiday in Italy wherein she even partied till 3 am.
However, her experience during her second pregnancy was quite the contrary. To quote her, "Taimur's pregnancy was like a movie, the whole thing was a dream. Reality hit during Jeh's pregnancy, which was much, much harder." It was in May 2020 that she found out that she's pregnant, when India was under a lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was when she fell ill for four days and suffered from nausea that she instantly knew that she was pregnant.
Kareena admits that she, Saif and others were thrilled but it was worrisome too. Firstly, she had an overriding sense of anxiety due to Covid-19 crisis and also because she was sick. She said, "I was ridden with exhaustion and low blood pressure pretty much through my whole pregnancy and I had terrible nausea which stretched into the second trimester."
Due to the sickness, Kareena Kapoor felt very tired and would sleep for 15-16 hours a day. Thanks to her nausea, she hardly ate and lost 3 kgs. For the first 17-18 weeks, she had morning sickness every day. She confessed, "You wouldn't have wanted to meet me during that time - I was ratty, snappy and constantly belching. I would belch without even having had a heavy meal. Let me tell you that there is very little glamour in a belching film star!"
Kareena's doctor, however, assured her that what she was going through was normal. And despite her condition, she decided to get going with work. She shot for a film, Laal Singh Chaddha, co-starring Aamir Khan in Delhi during the pandemic in her second trimester.
Kareena also stated that Saif Ali Khan and Taimur accompanied her during the Delhi schedule and all three stayed at their palace in Pataudi. The shoot took place at night, from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am and once back, Kareena revealed that she would collapse onto her bed.
Kareena credits her husband and son for being her constant source of support. She wrote, "Without Saif and Taimur, I may not have survived awful nausea and the lockdown stress. On an especially tiring day, I always had my mischievous little boy to make me smile and my husband to de-stress me."
Besides the shoot, Kareena Kapoor Khan also finished her brand commitments, looked after Taimur and wrote the book in question. They then changed houses and in her eighth month, she would supervise the housework.
At this point, the stress and exhaustion took a toll. She confessed, "My exhaustion was next level. I had to slow down. I tried to fulfil a commitment I had made to a fashion magazine for a photoshoot but I got dizzy on set and had to be carried back to my vanity van."
